    Can you please explain how Goodes is doing the team thing if he is blatantly ignoring the coach's directive?

        You seemed a bit hysterical. I was trying to imagine 'Flying High' and send the panic scene to you by telepathy.

          No I really do believe that the 1 %'s are all that matters.

              i think theres a lot of merit here, i like goodsey but why is he not accountable like davis?? surely continually putting yourself in a position where you face suspension is selfish non team play.

              someone said sarcastically yeh lets flush our season down the toilet and drop goodes, but is this the way this team functions? is he bigger than the team??

                That was me, and I wasn't being sarcastic. If we drop him for these very important games coming up then we would effectively be flushing our season away.

                  so goodes is untouchable as far as team selection goes?

                  he plays like he knows it sometimes

                    After he comes back from suspension, send him to Canberra for a week or two. Time for Adam to learn a little about teamwork, discipline and not relying on reputation. He might also learn how to lay a tackle. I am starting to think that most of Melbourne might have a point - overrated, soft and protected.
                    Learn how to lay a tackle? He has laid 46 tackles this year. That's the 5th most of any Swans player.

                    Soft? Adam Goodes is 5th for one percenters. He's 4th for contested marks. And guess what? 1st for contested possessions.

                    Yep, he must be soft, lazy and selfish. He's pathetic. Drop him now.

                      We all know that stats are meaningless. 4th for contested marks = can't find space, 1st for contested possessions = can't find space, and when he does he drops it, 46 tackles = second to the ball 46 times.

                      Anyway, we all know it is not about performance, it is about attitude, and his pongs at the moment.

                          Does uncontested possession mean running off your man at a blistering speed or sitting on your arse to wait for the ball to come to you?
                          I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

                            Davis makes 4 times as many tackles per game than Playfair. Why is Playfair in the side if Davis is out for his lack of defensive pressure? Facts, feelings, etc.

                              Depends what the point is that you want to make. Connolly would say that Bevo's uncontested possessions are because he plays the quarter back role (what ever that means). On the other hand Joel Bowden's are cheap junk possessions the result of Richmond's atrocious game plan.

                                I think I agree with ROK to a point. He has let the team down without doubt. He will pay for that with a suspension.

                                Davis has had plenty of cracks at living up to his potential, whereas Goodes has given us plenty before this year started with no need to question his commitment to the team. He has been suspended, I will completely agree with you if he is stupid enough not to learn from this.
